FAQs About Face Primers
What is makeup primer and why should I use it?
Primer is the first step in your makeup routine after skincare. It creates a smooth canvas by blurring pores, filling fine lines, and helping makeup last longer. Some primers also mattify, hydrate, or colour-correct, depending on your skin's needs. Think of it as a base coat for your face - ensuring your foundation applies evenly and stays fresh throughout the day.
How do I choose the best primer for my skin type?
For oily skin, look for oil-free, mattifying primers that control shine and minimise pores. Dry skin? Choose hydrating formulas with hyaluronic acid or glycerin. Redness-prone or uneven skin tone benefits from colour-correcting primers - green for redness, peach for dullness. If you wear makeup daily, lightweight, fragrance-free options keep irritation at bay.
Can I use primer without foundation?
Absolutely. Primers offer benefits like blurring and oil control on their own, especially in hot weather or no-makeup days. Illuminating primers can give a healthy glow, while mattifying types control shine. They also help BB or CC creams grip better for longer-lasting wear.
